The proposed "shelter" in Seven Corners is for 25 able-bodied,
middle-aged, working men. At considerable cost to the taxpayers,
each man will get a mat on the floor. The most recent
calculation is $550 per month per mat.
I wrote this little poem to lighten up the debate:
Mirror, mirror, in my hand,
They say this mat costs $50 grand,
But your cost will be much clearer
If you get yourself a full length mirror. >>
Keith adds;
Mirror, reason; cracked and broken. The mat I rest on but a token.
$50 grand was taxed and spent; non-profit fees unmonitored went.
Whittier's-Phillips' homeless havens; cash flows to non-profits' mavens.
